Ok, this seems to have caused another problem. Deleting the media storage data seems to have wiped all of the ringtones, etc. (Looking back, this makes sense...) How can I restore this?
[Captivate Android Development] daskanda:
these steps that have worked for me many times flashing between this ICS and the teamhacksung ICS.

have the rom on my internal storage

back up all my apps using tibu

Flash to stock jf6 no bootloaders using odin since i already flashed GB bootloader months back

reboot phone

turn phone off ... open odin and put talon kernel with CWM in pda slot with auto reboot UNchecked

hook up phone to computer in download mode and flash the kernel

pull battery when odin says pass

boot phone into CWM wipe data, cache and dalvik cache

load the ICS zip

phone autoreboots after its finished and gets stuck on bootanimation

pull battery go back into CWM wipe data and caches again

install ICS zip one more time

go back wipe data and caches again install zip once more

reboot

first boot usually takes me about 5 mins and i have never run into any problems everything works as it should

hope that helps!

Goodluck

Dumb question number 2. sooo... how do I add a widget to the homescreen? For example Beautiful Widgets.
[Captivate Android Development] JBM12G:
How does this compare to V2 of the teamhacksung port? Which would you recommend flashing?
[Captivate Android Development] TwinkyOfHope:
Go to the app drawer and press the Widgets tab at the top. I still keep trying to long press the home screen out of habit lol

They advertise ui lag, I have no lag here.
[Captivate Android Development] mikel.canovas:
I feel that this one performs better. My opinion however, try out both and see for yourself.

Also, I'm confused by the kernels on the google downloads site... There are two kernels one says update 1 and another says update 2. But update 1 has a more recent time stamp... Which one is the right one to use?
[Captivate Android Development] JBM12G:
Thanks Guys
[Captivate Android Development] deltatyger:
Not sure if I'm just one case or what. I flashed the newest kernel and I lost my lock screen and all the settings of my phone. It is like performing factory reset with all my apps intact. Be cautious while flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] erad1:
Easy flash over A6...just wiped cache and dalvik, 3G, APN and WiFi all on first boot! Had to run the SU script again though. Looks good.

Hi! I have a problem. The device is not included in the mode recovery. Sometimes it works to come up by pressing the volume when turned on, but more often - no. Before the ICS flashed stock HVH of i9000. The team at ADB recovery reboot - just reboot the device. How to solve a problem with recovery mode?
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
Does anyone know if facebook works in Beta 1, as I found that it did not in Alpha 7. Thanks in advance.

Also, does Beta 1 run more fluidly than Alpha 7 did? I found that Alpha 7 was quite laggy/choppy and really want ICS on my phone. I have a good version on a Vibrant and it is sick! Want it on my Cappy now!
[Captivate Android Development] erad1:
Working fine here and thanks to the devs again for the non-wipe updates! You guys rock!
[Captivate Android Development] TwinkyOfHope:
I just switched to this from the CM build for the second time today, and I feel that this ROM has a much smoother UI. The only thing I like about the CM version is that you can reboot or reboot to recovery from the power menu. But I will probably be using this as my daily driver for now.

Also, I tried flashing the CaptivateKernel-B1-Update.zip and the Home button stopped working. It would vibrate but wouldn't take me to the home screen. No biggie though, I just reflashed the ROM and Fugu kernel and all is fine.
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
Is this just an isolated incident? Should I not use the CaptivateKernel-B1-Update.zip and just use a Fugu one? I am probably going to try the Beta after trying the Alpha, but just want to make sure the home button works.
[Captivate Android Development] TwinkyOfHope:
I don't know if I'm the only person it happened to. But I flashed it on top of the Fugu kernel, which is has been taken off the download page.

EDIT: I just flashed the ROM using the updated kernel and not bothering with the Fugu one, and the home button is working perfectly.
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
I've been using the Fugu one all day everything is working flawlessly (had to reflash cuz gps was ****d) but after that flawlessly. Ill probably flash the updated one since its the most recent. Usually means better right.

Thanks, I will give this a go later.

I figure I must be doing something simple wrong as I can't see anyone else having reported this problem in this thread.

I have seen this error reported elsewhere, but the the threads are usually quite old and related to Froyo ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] unknownyello:
Just flash this over from saurom rom with captivate BL and everything went perfect. all i did was wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache. was stuck at the boot animation first time. left it there for over 30 minutes. pull battery, wipe data/factory reset, and now im enjoying ICS. very good job devs.

Does anyone know what this app is?

[Captivate Android Development] wisepage:
I did when I went back to stock. Now I have CWM again as I flashed back to Serendipity VII.

Still, the error is;

Installing update...

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxys" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxys" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxysmtd" || etc.

It lists a few different thing in the " " such as "galaxys", "galaxysmtd", "GT-I9000", "GT-I9000M" and "GT-I9000T"

then ends with:

E:Error in /mnt/sdcardICS_4.0.3.0(RC3.1)_Captivate_Full.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted

Not entirely sure what to do about this, but to me it says that it needs the device to be an SGS/i9000 and mine is set as a Captivate.

I checked in my Settings > about phone and my phone is listed as an i897 (Captivate). I am thinking that is the problem, but I have no idea how to fix this!

Still need to try daskandas solution.
[Captivate Android Development] fezzy102:
I had the same problem.and I know of at least one other person that had this problem.I got it to flash finally but went to flash a desperate package with some themed apps I use then got that (status 7) installation aborted so I flash nushor's 3148 booted (I know there are things that don't work with this kernel) but I was able to flash my app package with no problems.strangest thing.:(
[Captivate Android Development] xiaoali:
I got that message too. I flashed 2.11 then flashed 3.1, didn't get the message then.
[Captivate Android Development] wisepage:
So you're saying to flash Nushor's 3148 kernel as things stand now (or go back to stock GB first?), then ICSSGS should flash?

Are Nushors kernels i9000 kernels? As I said earlier, I had a theory I was running into trouble because mine wasn't and the ROM required it. Then again, I really do I have no idea so I might be way off.

Where might I find 3148? I don't see it here;

Man, I will be so glad when this is done. I really am hopeless at this.

Thanks for your help guys. So far ROM seems very fast and stable.

I notice you guys talking about changing advanced options such as clock speed. Where might I do this?

Mine was only being used until nstools loaded its settings at boot. I cleared settings, rebooted, set UV, governor and scheduler and left CPU speeds alone and all is well now..

I didn't notice it before is there a difference between rc3.1 and rcplus because with the i9000 thread the plus was different than rc3 so just wondering
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
i9000 thread? 99% sure that thread got deleted. Mainly because it was almost a direct kang of onecosmic's work with very little, if at all, difference. Hence why I've said before anything in http://ics.samsung-updates.com/ isn't directly related to this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] martinomac:
Use setCPU instead. It allows you to use 100mhz.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I've tried that on nushor's older kernels. After reboot it goes back to 200mhz and you can't set I/O schedule

The final piece of the puzzle. Thank you! Now I think I have everything I had back on GB.

correct me if im wrong but stock touchwiz never had those toggles.... as far as i remember they were only built into custom GB roms... oh and btw the other ICS rom by team hacksung has those toggles built in as well customizable with cm settings app..... but i find this rom to be a bit smoother.... but both roms are amazing..... thank you devs!!

[Captivate Android Development] wisepage:
You're wrong. Consider yourself corrected.

MoreQuicklyPanel is good, but I am finding a few issue with it.

* Shortcuts don't remain at the top of the notifications list

* You can't re-order the shortcuts and the default order is less than perfect.

* The app has a notification in the top bar. This can be turned off, but it just blacks the icon out which pushes separate notifications towards the middle of the notification bar.

Only minor quibbles. But they are there. People should be aware of them before they spend the money on it.

I basically had the exact same issue with the teamhacksung ics rom and that's how I ended up here with this sgs release...because my captivate currently has gt-i9000 boot loaders and the THS ICS release gave me that error cuz it thought I was on different phone..boot loaders were reset/changed (on my other crappy which is test phone that had the exact same setup n flash) and it worked. I would assume its possible u have the similar issue here but look into it more...

I actually wasn't sure this sgsics release would work either on this same setup with my phones boot loaders making it think I'm on a gt-i9000 model when I'm actually on a sgh-i897 captivate...but it did..thankfully..

So either need to try a diff release or diff loaders to show/simulate correct device...but once again look into it more as this was only my scenario and I've read that assertion errors can be for diff cause altogether.

Ok...so I'm still semi bricked. If I try to use Heimdall(on a mac, and don't have any VM software), it fails when trying to install a kernel using any of the heimdall one-clicks available. I have to keep using the oneclickunbrick to get back to download mode. Once I unbrick, I get the frozen Google logo again. I'm wondering if just flashing a kernel like Glitch or something else can fix it, I just don't know how to use those kernels with Heimdall since the kernels seem to only come CWM ready.
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
Is there any way to add more then the 5 limit of home screens for this ICS? And a way to preview them all at once? I know this was feature(s) of previous os versions and supposedly ICS has set new limit to 5 with no preview but wasn't sure if this sgs ics rom release may have addressed that or maybe it will in future releases? I like many have no clue why Android decided to take a step back in this new os and create the 5 home screen limit in the first place.. bad move IMO

Thanks

I tried again coming from 2.11 with the Glitch kernel and I updated to 3.1 by first flashing Nushor's 3189 kernel and then the ROM.

But...my home button doesn't work and I don't have a lock screen.

I should have never updated. 2.11 with the Glitch kernel was the best my phone has ever run...especially in terms of battery life.

Anybody else having trouble with the messaging app in this ROM. Everything else I have tested works pretty much flawlessly, except for one of the most important things; Messaging!

I can open the app and type a new message OK, but any time I try and open a message thread an error pops up and says;

"Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped."

With an "OK" button.

I thought I may have had too many messages in there or something, but having delete them all it still does it.

Anybody else experiencing this?

Anyone know a way to fix it?

Which version of Glitch did you run with 2.11?
[Captivate Android Development] cvcduty:
I just noticed that also on my phone. I've been using this build for few days now and last night was the first time. I had just upgraded my wife's cappy to 3.1 and her's did that immediatly. If I push the power button to wake the phone, it seems to pause for a sec or two. I have to press the power button again, and the screen flashes with what appears to be the reverse image of my wallpaper and goes dark. I press again and it's back to normal and I can unlock the phone.

Like I said, I had my cappy running this version for few days and never noticed it until last night. No biggy and I won't worry about it much though since it does not seem to affect the phone negatively at all.

On a positive point, I have to say that I am real happy with the battery life on this version. 2.11 was kind of bad with the batteries but after few cycles of charging, I am getting 16-17 hours with light/moderate use. Matter of fact, it's keeping up with my bone stock DINC2 that is awesome with battery use.

Thanks for such an awesome build.

[Captivate Android Development] ryboto:
I have flashed with this cable using Odin just last week. Also, the oneclickunbrick works using this cable. I've tried all USB ports, and no other USB devices are plugged in. I'm thinking it's a Heimdall version issue with this specific version of OSX. The Oneclickunbrick uses 1.2.0, and all the one-click's use 1.3.1...and they wont work without the most recent version. Does anyone have any instructions on how to flash the Glitch, or alternative kernel using Heimdall? I think that might be what I need to do.

I've seen bad cables do worst. You don't have access to a pc or use vm with Windows? I don't use heimdall so can't assist you on your other question.
